Wow... I carry all my materials and tools in a cardboard box and take them out and set up on the kitchen table HA. I need a set up like one of these pictured. Great stuff here, guess I need to clean out the spare room!

Nate, I did that for years before I found this table at a second-hand store for $35. Pulling everything out each time to tie was a pain in the rear, plus I couldn't walk away from it or the cat would start playing with the feathers. A table with a closing top works great for me as I can close it up if I need to leave the bench for a while.

Nice! I don't have to worry about the cat (although I do steal some hair from him for dubbing :P) but my flippin' kids (2yrs and 2 months) are either trying to play with my tying stuff or they want my attention and I don't get anything done. Maybe I should set up shop in the attic!

amazing facilities you guys have. I fish for mountain brookies, so I think about maps more than flies, but here's my "vise" and setup ($12 in tools & materials) for fast first tie of super hi viz winter worms. eat your hearts out :)

I'm sorry, but a rusty adjustable wrench clearly doesn't have enough snob appeal to be able to tie a san juan worm for trout. Please come back when you've spent at least $300 on a vise that appears to have been borne from the space program.

Although, the vast utility and appeal is pretty astounding. Tie the flies, fix your car, and priest teh fish all with one multitool.
